Atlanta, 1948. In this city, all crime is black and white. On one side of the tracks are the rich, white neighbourhoods; on the other, Darktown, the African-American area guarded by the city’s first black police force of only eight men. These cops are kept near-powerless by the authorities: they can’t arrest white suspects; they can’t drive a squad car; they must operate out of a dingy basement. When a poor black woman is killed in Darktown having been last seen in a car with a rich white man, no one seems to care except for Boggs and Smith, two black cops from vastly different backgrounds.

James S. A. Corey ist das Pseudonym von Daniel Abraham und Ty Franck, zwei unglaublich erfolgreichen SciFi-Autoren, deren Werke als Fernseh-Serie geadelt worden sind. “What I will tell you is that if you’re a fan of Space Operas, this should be right up your alley. The characters, Holden, Amos, Alex, Naomi and Miller are well drawn and engaging. Miller and Holden are the most complex and intriguing characters with Miller edging out Holden as protagonist of the piece (in my humble opinion).” (Leser (1.419 Rezensionen / 4,5 Sterne), 573 Seiten noch günstig?

Dolly Biters! Horror-Erzählungen von Paul Voodini
Willkommen im gruseligen London um 1800, wo Vampire durch die Straßen laufen und einige eurer liebsten Charaktere aus der viktorianischen Literatur aufgegriffen worden sind und verdreht, bis sie zerrrissen sind. „As a huge (and I mean huge) fan of Victorian London and all the darkness it had and all the mystery that the city was wrapped around I found Dolly Biters an amazing and yet dark and scary story. I didn’t hesitate to get the book when I read the synopsis solely because it was happening in Victorian London (because to me it’s convenient to place whatever creature in that time and in that city).
